NYT Reviewer Responds To Elon Musk: I Did What Tesla Told Me To Do

The New York Times' John Broder has responded to Tesla CEO
Elon Musk's point-by-point response
to his
review of the company's Model S car, and basically says
Tesla's own employees instructed him to do everything Musk took
him to task for:

Beginning early in the morning of my second day with the car,
after the projected range had dropped precipitously while parked
overnight, I spoke numerous times with Christina Ra, Tesla’s
spokeswoman at the time, and Ted Merendino, a Tesla product
planner at the company’s headquarters in California.

They told me that the loss of battery power when
parked overnight could be restored by properly “conditioning” the
battery, a half-hour process, which I undertook by sitting in the
car with the heat on low, as they instructed. That proved
ineffective; the conditioning process actually reduced the range
by 24 percent (to 19 miles, from 25 miles).

Broder goes on to provide his own point-by-point response to
Musk's allegations.
